If you only follow the mainstream media, you would be led to believe that the Occupy movement is over. In fact, some "liberals", have been criticizing the movement for not taking political action and gaining political seats. Occupy is not a movement of the Democratic or any other party. From the beginning, their message has been clear that there is no difference between Republicans or Democrats when it comes to corporate plutocracy. Occupiers understand that the current political process is rigged and change can only be triggered through popular demand by an educated population. They have managed to accurately frame important issues such as income inequality, poverty, an unfair tax system, influence of the military-industrial complex, and corruption, which were otherwise ignored by politicians, corporations and the media. Even if the movement does not survive in its current form, until those issues are addressed, its spirit will live on.
